Watch how you approach the topic of match fixing. You can speculate, saying "I'm not so sure about the finals, something doesn't sit right with me," but if you are going to outright accuse players of match fixing you need something more than your word. TL takes match fixing/abuse seriously and as such there is a burden a proof when you are accusing players. - p4NDemik | ||

All over team liquid. Various pro players admitted to splitting the final pot much to the chagrin of a LOT of people. | ||

I don't want to take anything away from MVP's win, but Nestea didn't seem like he was playing his best at all. I just hope MVP doesn't go into a slump after losing to MMA in GSL. This confidence boost will hopefully keep him in a good enough mind set to continue to be an amazing Terran. Congrats to IM for beating pretty much everyone. Their team manager must be insanely happy :D did you see mvps reaction when he won? no way they split. nestea has never had a super solid late game zvt, usually relying on mutas and banemines in crazy base trade scenarios. his strength is his defense timing, macro, and frankly his drone making, which ties into those other 2. nestea usually wins against good terrans by overwhelming them due to his superior economy or by winning basetrades with burrowed banes and mutas. mvp playing for a split map was a brilliant counter to this as all that extra money of nestea was limited by production and further limited by nesteas failure to maintain injects and refusal to mass macro hatches as well as terrible nuke and drop defense. | ||

I'm now writing this angry post, because my hatred for the game's balance is totally objective, and is not at all related to any type of miserable online life with multiple stupid losses because of my own failures, that I blame the game balance for ... Hahaha, perfect summary of last 40 pages or so. Spot on and funny post like this are saviors of LR threads in these dark times. Funny thing that somebody had the need to report you for that. Well, If the caps fits... | ||

Unlike, say, MLG, where the only thing to do at the end of the tournament is hang out, there is the last major event of the weekend going on immediately after the game... where I think Foo Fighters may be a main attraction. Is Dave Grohl > MVP? I want an exhibition match. | ||

I don't care how Nestea blundered in terms of defending expos, his bank was large enough for 4 remaxes. MVP's turtle on side expos was impenetrable, turrets, sensor towers everywhere. As blunderous Nestea's failed drops looked, he was faced without the problem of defeating the cloaked ghost army. Once MVP reached an economy of similar prowess as Nestea, he could start throwing drops everywhere just like a Zerg could throw zerglings away, and Nestea couldn't deal with it. I blame Shakuras Plateau (which was the best Zerg map in the pool WTF) Nestea had a huge bank about midway through the game and needed to sac some workers for a better overall army count, even if he lost most of that army he still had a forest of spines to protect his retreat path. Also Neatea while brilliant and a fav player of mine seems to have really poor late game compositions and a tendency to make infestors and barely use them except to defend drops. He needed more infestors to fungal the ghosts especially once all the medivacs were gone. Overseers + 8 infestors and broods could have worked even with the vikings there. Once the ghosts were gone he could have emptied his bank on ultras or just a million roaches or something and mvp is forced to land his vikings to defend, loses them and then bam broods are viable again. That is all just theory crafting of course it's impossible to know if it would have worked or not but that's my best guess as to how it might have been possible. MVP deserved that last game though, he had excellent base defense, made good use of drops especially once Nestea stopped making mutas and generally kept the player who wants to trade armies from ever actually you know going to trade them. The game could have gone either way at many points throughout but in the end MVP wore Neatea down until he made a fatal blunder. | ||

He really didn't need to be anywhere close to efficient, he just needed to kill a bit of mvps army so he could bruteforce the rest. | ||

Because zerg are used to complaining then getting their way instead of adapting their play. i.e make more marco hatchies and then make a shitton of lings/baneling against MVP nearly tankless army. But hey, 15k/5k looks good in the bank. | ||
